. X POLITICAL PUDD1SG,
The unpamlelled republican cloud
burst in tbe pastern suites has con
vinced disgruntled politioiuns thai
they cannot ruin the country ty
means of .cheap legislation, an the re
form cranio ana freo-sih-er crault
have decided to fuse mid try to rum
the country with cheap money. Those
two elements will combine forces awl
get ready for business in 1808, but
the oountry tin untioip ttod the nuv j
nient and will be rsuly to administer
the quadrennial dose of ipeo.ic wiin
the time comes. No political party
could survive such a landslide as over
whelemed populism on Nivembar sev
enth. The peoples' party realises
that there is no hope at all f r life
and the oaly chance left them for even
it brief exUteuce is to tack itself on t
the tail end of the free silver in
ment and try to wduw through the
swamp into which it h ta been uuceri
moniotuly dumped by both of the iit.l
parties. As republicans, we ho.ie this
movement will prevail, for it will have
the effect of keeping a ro ily danger
ous party of some kind out of the
fight, and it will m.tte it such easv
game for the republican that not h.il
of them will need tu go to the polls to
make second Waterloo, and,
pared with which the cyelone of the
Tth will be as a gentle evening zephpr
stirred by the downy wiug of a pass
ing houri.
a great statesman ice sanl "yon
can fool all the people some of the
time, and somn of the people all the
time, but you cannot foul all the pe
pie all the time." The people of Kin-
as have just demonstrated the wis
dom of this great truth by refusing t'
be fooled any longer by the peoples
party. They have had e sough of
hayseed legislation, and will be glad to
return to the old order of things wuioh
prevailed under the administration of
the substantial old republican party.
A short season of misrule, demagogy
aud spoils-hunting has sufficed to the
gust the crank-ridden kinaus with
. populism and all other isms except re
publicanism aud they have very gensib
ly decided to return to the fid 1 of the
republican darty where they are ss
sured protection, peace and prosperity
It is now stated with much positive-
ness that the free-traders among ihr
democratic members of the House
Ways and Means committee have tr'
umphed and that the new tariff hill is
to be made about as radical ai it can
well be made, but the statement has
uot caused much uneasiness for the
very simple reason that "l he more rad
ical the bill is made the less probabil
ity there is of its becoming a law
The number r.f democrats in congress
who will refuse to vote for radical cuts
in the tariff is every day becoming
larger. '

The Olvnipia Tribune is certainly
fl ietld of thu iirune indui-try. It loses
no opportunity, apparent ly, to copy
anything ul merit on lha stthjeiit. In
fact it is wide awako to the pleiuuir
and profit of the industry.- lis latest
ell'oi i in this hi hall is the following
interview with Hon. Amos KMww,
Fruit Valley, Washington, ninth will
not onlv lie inl-ori'stlng to our renders,
but intending settlors and pruuu ruts
ens:
When the interest th it has been dis
played dining the past year there re
mains no doubt but that prune culture
is to bo the coming iiuliielry in tine
vicinity. It bus bitui tdmwu to be a
S'liuce of profit, and the markets, both
loieign and domestic, arc always ready
for the product at a good tiguro. Af
ter the trees u re in healing the greaU-sl
part of the labor is accomplished and
the teal exiiense is done for. The suc
cess with which a lew men have oper
ated in tliis vicinity has induced many
others to take hold ot the industry,
and land in tracts "f live, ten and til'
teen acres are being cleared and setout
in voting trees in uh parts of the coun
ty. Probably one of the most success
ful prune-growers in the state is Sur
veyor General Amos P. Shaw, who has
jiint returned from his orchard in
Clarke conuiy. General bhaw has 10
icri's in what is called Fruit Valley,
lis pectili ! adaptab lily to fruit grow
ing, of coni'.-e, g'ves it its name. It is
a strip oi country commencing just
above Vancouver and extending down
to and aioiiiul Vancouver lake. Ii
vers an area of about two miles wide
anil te;; or twelve mil s luni:. in this
ValleV there are about 500 acres of
land set out in prone trees, a good air
tion of which are in beating. There
are about lifU'on ilrvers in the valley.
ind during the season 'lie shipment
uvered probably J0i tons, which read
ily found a market, in Portland and
ilie Sound ciiirs. General Shaw and I
liia brother shipped one car loud to St.
Louis. Tlx crop this vear lias broucht
from 7$ to 8 cents per pound by the
car louu lot. 1 lie Italian prunes pre
dominate and by far are the best.
General Shaw has some selected Ital
ian prunes which weighed twentv-su
:o the pound when dried, while fifty
o the pound is considered gilt edg.
lis orchard covers ten acres, seven in
bearing, wilh a yield generally of fifty-
veu l-nis, or a little mole than eight
ous tu the acre. One acre he men-
i ins in particular produced l(j,i)J3
ismnds of green fruit, which when
Iried made about two and one half
tons, l hese at i cents per pound
aoulil yield $372 for the acre.
" 1 he Lillian, said Mr. Sh i w, "Is bv
U means the best prune. The trees
re hanlv, thev bear ""ell aud are tro'l
hleil but very little with insects."
When asked just what details at
tached to the planting of a prune or-
hard, the expeuse aud pna-ess, Mr.
Shaw started from the work of break
ing the ground and tol l jnst what his
xiieneuce hud taught luni. Everv
lrson interested in prune culture will
learn his views with profit.
i irst, about sou. That which gives
the best results is a shot clay. It mat
ters not about the lav of the land so
long as the hard pan is deep enough
to prevent the Water standing within
three or four feel of the surface. Ami
riil the erotind from roots to that
lepth. Plow as deep as possible and !
vork thoroughly. If it is nut aoial
land, I would not set out the trees.
There is hu idea that any of this
ravel laud will grow prunes success
fully. That is a mistake. Having mil
y ur ground in shape, ret out your
trees, yearlings, anil not closer than
twenty fee' a earl. It is just us eaay
to over pasture an acre of land with
trees, as with hoises, caitle or speei.
While you don't get so many trees to
he acre hs oy setting them onlv six
teen feela.iart, thev get belter crowtb.
ami jogt as much fruit The besi
yearlings can be bought for from eight
to ten cents apiece al the nurseries.
"I would plant the trees when the
ground is comparatively dry so that it
won i pack, t com now til next tpring
is a gooil time. Immediately after
planting, go through the orchard aud
head them off not less than four feet
high. Then cultivate all summer up
lo I he middle, of Julv. m-t as von
would cultivate corn. Let the trees
grow until winter, and then prune
them. Better wail till spring if you
can. . Aext year, proceed with the
same cultivation as tha year before,
snd prune properly. ?Hntinue with
T his until ih trees are big enough to
bear, which is generally the fourth
year. After tbey are six or seven vearsi
old, don't prune much un ess it is to
thin out. If properly cared for thev
ought to bear a full crop at eight years
irom setting.
'I bad my entire crop picked this
year at five cents per box of sixty
pounds. Some pickers will go as low
us four cents. The prunes are dipped
in hot lye, placed on a dripping board
and washed in cold water, which re
moves all lye as well as dirt. The fruit
is then put in trays and jdaced in the
dryer, which is heated from 150 to 170
degrees. In this dryer the fruit re
mains from ten to tweuly fotir hours.
'A un evidence of the profit in
prune culture, a fair example in shown
in one acre of mine which, at the end
of nine years, had paid for itself and
all expenses attached to fencing, plow
ing, senilis: nut trees, cullivuti'xr hiiH

other county urKuiiixutions will meet
to discuss plans for the slate., meeting,
it is understood that thu stale meet
ing will bo held More December 1st,
when action will be taken to stiffen
prices, which now are thoroughly do-
mornlixcil. There is some difference
of opinion, of course, amoag mitnufac
tuieis as to the advisability of taking
the dealers into the association. ISev
erlheless there is a movement on bait
among one o" two dealers and a mini
her ol manufacturers to reorganise, the
Id Washington and Oregon Shingle
Manufacturers' and Dealers' Associa
tion, which realy did not go out of ex
istence last spring, as supposed by
ninny. The movers contemplate hav
ing an organiser visit every mill in the
.stale to lalk up the project and reor-
taniise the obi association.
The manufacturer!, on the whole,
seem to favor seperate associations of
inaiHU'actU'Cis and deiilirs, both to
work in harmony. This shows the in
lei-est taken in the move to place the
shingle business on a firm footing be
fore uext year. Piesidenl While and
Secretary Hraud.of the Manufacturers'
association, have been Hooded with
b-tiers the past month urging the re-
oigannsatloii of the a.-sociation. A
meeting has been held hi Skagit conn
ty a nd the Whatcom county mill men
weic lo meet November 4. It is inti
mated that a state meeting will be held
this month in Seattle, but it is doubt
ful if anything is done until the differ
ent mill men have met ami formed
ct uuty associations. The plan is to
have every county in Hie state form
an association and elect an executive
committee of three, these members lo
be delegates to the state meeting.
This plan is an excellent one, and The
Lumberman believes it lo be the duty
of every mill man to join the county
associations.
Orders have been belter the past
month than at any time since last
spiim; As a consequence fully one
half the mills have la en running: The
mujoiity of I he orders came from laiints
along the great lakes, and are being
tilled in a hurry on account of the
nearness lo the close of navigation.
The other oiib-rsare for late fall build

Reports from the mills indicate a
